Who My File a Lien?

Pursuant to Ohio statutes, a contractor, subcontractor, or materialman who has provided labor or materials to a construction project may file a lien against the property for the value of the labor performed or materials supplied by filing an Affidavit of Mechanic's Lien. A lien may not be obtained against property when the party claiming the lien has been paid in full before the property owner has received a copy of the lien claimant's Affidavit of Mechanic's Lien. O.R.C. 1311.01(B).

How Long Does a Lien Claimant Have to File a Lien?

An Affidavit for a Mechanic's Lien must be filed within sixty days from the last day of work performed by the party claiming the lien, if the project is a one or two family residential dwelling. Otherwise, the lien claimant has seventy-five (75) days to file for a lien. An exception is liens involving oil and gas leases, which may be filed within one hundred and twenty (120) days. O.R.C.1311.06(B).

What is a Notice of Commencement?

Prior to beginning work on a project which may give rise to a mechanic's lien, the property owner should file a Notice of Commencement with the county recorder in the county where the property is located. A Notice of Commencement is an affidavit which describes the improvements to be made to the property, the legal description of the property, and the names and addresses of all parties involved in the contract, along with some statutory notices, that put potential buyers or lenders on notice that improvements that may cause a lien to be filed are being made. O.R.C. 1311.04(A)(1).

A subcontractor, materialman, or laborer, may make a written request for a copy of the Notice of Commencement, to which the owner is obligated to respond within ten days. O.R.C. 1311.04(D).

What is a Notice of Furnishing?

As a counterpart to the owner's Notice of Commencement is the Notice of Furnishing that must be served by a subcontractor or materialsman on the property owner. A Notice of Furnishing serves to put the owner on notice that the party furnishing labor and materials may be entitled to a lien against the property. O.R.C. 1311.05(A)

If the Notice to Commencement has been filed, a party who wants to preserve their right to file a lien must file their Notice of Furnishing within twenty-one days of the Notice of Commencement being served. O.R.C. 1311.04(I).

How is a Lien Released?

When an Affidavit has been filed and the lien claimant has subsequently been paid, the property owner may file an affidavit attesting to the fact that the lien has been satisfied. The lienholder has thirty days from receipt of this affidavit to file a lien release or be subject to pay the property owner damages as a result. O.R.C. 1311.01(B)(3).

Lending institutions may not release funds to a contractor until that contractor has filed an affidavit stating that the contractor has paid all subcontractors, laborers, and materialmen in full, and that there are no further claims pending against the project. A property owner may issue written demand that the contractor issue this affidavit and may withhold payment until the affidavit is received. O.R.C. 1311.01(B)(4).

If there is a dispute between subcontractors and the principal contractor regarding payment, such that the subcontractor will not release his lien, under Ohio statutes, the property owner is entitled to withhold payment to the principal contractor in the amount of the lien. In response, the principal contractor and lending institution may demand that the lien holder provide them with information regarding the amount of the lien and the dates upon which work was performed. The owner or lending institution may only release payment to the original contractor when the lien holder has given notice that he has been paid, the subcontractor issues a lien release, the original contractor provides a bond, or the time under which a lien may be filed has expired. O.R.C. 1311.01(B)(8).

How Else May a Property Owner Respond to a Lien?

After a lien has been filed, a property owner may serve a Notice to the Lien holder to Commence Suit. Within thirty days of serving the notice the property owner must file the notice with an affidavit indicating how service was accomplished. The lien holder has sixty days after being served to file suit or his lien will be rendered void. O.R.C. 1311.11(B)(3)
